UPDATE: I fixed the issue while posting this, the solution is included. I am hoping by posting this it may help someone having the same problem, because I spent hours and days trying to solve the issue. Sorry the post is so long.
This is my first post.. I am in desperate need of help!
I have searched everywhere, and cannot find any answers really.
I rooted my M919 at one point, and I could not receive OTA updates.
I do not know if it was rooted when I tried to update it with Odin though.
I was in a hurry (I know BIG mistake) and I never wiped my phone or anything before trying to flash the phone.
I think the phone may not be working because I may have not used triangle away before, but I am not sure if I ever used it. I did the root a long time ago.
I have tried changing USB cords, computers, drivers, md5 files, different Odin versions, flashing PIT file, you name it, I have probably tried it
When I boot the phone the currupt recovery screen shows up. Kies will not recognize the phone.
In the left corner it says:
ODIN MODE
...SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMMC BURST MODE enabled
I can still access "downloading" mode, and it says the same as above.
Odin gives me different errors depending on the file I am attempting to flash
The reason I tried flashing the PIT file is because it would sometimes say
I am not completely sure what update I was using before this all happened, but I think it may have been this one, unrooted?:
CF-Auto-Root-jfltetmo-jfltetmo-sghm919.tar.md5
Error codes are as follows:

The screen is now frozen on the "Samsung Galaxy S4" screen and just shuts off if trying to boot into recovery mode.
If plugged into USB while trying to boot into recovery it launches the recovery file I just flashed!
I went back into download mode, and plugged the phone back in.
I opened Odin 3.07 again, since I had success with the recovery file.
I tried flashing 4.4.4 again M919UVUFNH7_M919TMBFNH7_M919UVUFNH7_HOME.tar.md5
and it failed while only having Auto Reboot checked. I tried launching it with Auto Reboot AND F Reset Time, and it worked!! Hope this helps someone!!

Hi DarkMenace - would it be possible for you to send me signed M919 PIT file as well? Thanks

What version Bootloader/Modems do you have now on the phone? If the version you have now has Knox, then you can't downgrade to MDL.
If you are not sure, you can use this free app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
If the version is MK2 or newer, you can't downgrade to MDL.
You can find newer firmwares either on the SamMobile.com site, or on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/firmwares-official-mdl-mk2-nb4-t2816508

If you have a GT-1905 (which I can't find), you shouldn't be trying to flash FIRMWARE for a T-Mobile phone (SGH-M919). That will brick your phone.
If it is an S4, you should be able to take off the back and look under the battery for the model number.
You can flash ROMs, but not firmware between different S4 models. Try finding the FIRMWARE for your phone, and flash that. Also, verify your model, because GT-1905 isn't a Samsung model number.
You can find firmwares here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

Since this forum is for the T-Mobile variant of the S4, and I'm not familiar with the GT-I9505, I would suggest you try the forum for that model:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4
If you flashed a T-Mobile tar to your I9505, it is probably because of the radio/modem which was designed for the T-Mo model. There should be links in that forum about no WiFi, etc.

Hello gang. Got a new circuit board installed two weeks ago. Got the phone back, started setting it up, and after about an hour the touchscreen quit working. >8\
I emailed the shop and they said "could be because you're rooted."
Smelled like bull**** to me, but giving them the benefit of the doubt I figured I'd try to flash back to stock. (Which I WAS actually stock, I had the 4.4.4 OTA update, and then rooted and de-bloated.)
Anyway, I downloaded the "Stock firmware" (SGH-M919-UVUAMDB-k0nane.tar.md5) from post 1 in the title thread and flashed it with Odin.
SEEMS to be working, but oddly enough I have a M919UVUFNH7 baseband and bootloader, but Android 4.4.2, which based on my reading, should be impossible?
Also, like several other posters, I have no wifi.
In any event, I am currently downloading the NH7 firmware from sammobile. Says 2 hours to go.
Will try to flash that with Odin and we'll see what happens. Anyone have suggestions in the meantime?

OK - follow-up. I downloaded M919UVUFNK2_M919TMBFNK2_M919UVUFNK2_HOME.tar and flashed it with Odin. Even though Odin said "Boot" and "Modem" in the flashing process, I still seem to have NH7 bootloaders and baseband.
Help?

Well, never mind. I don't care anymore. Tried to replace my glass and cracked the digitizer. Dunno if I'm down to drop another $120 on this thing now.
$300 purchase price
$100 circuit board replacement
$12 glass
Now $120 for a display? I might just call knock it off with this thing.

Pls Help by upgrade from 4.4.2 to 5.1 on SM-T805

Hello,
I'm new here and I heared that Android 5.1 is still alive for SM-T805 but it seems that's not available in germany - very bad I found .
Now I wnat to know if it's possible to get a "How To" for an upgrade from 4.4.2 to 5.1 for my SM-T805. I know that there are some recent threads but in the topic
my modelnumber ins't listed and I also don't accept downloads (PIT and ROMs) which want to do a specieal task (e. g. "try out this app" or "try to win an iPhone 6"
and so on).
The download for PIT/ROM should be easily done over share-biz or any other file hoster.
I think that I'll need Odin to upgrade manually but I hope too that I don't need to root my device.
At last I want to know if 5.1 is good enough an comes with german language support or is there a better custom rom with german language support which
supports my SM-T805 and most/all Playstore-Apps and comes with better performence and longer battery duration and so on.
Sincerly,
Chaos234

Hi!
Hi! Samsung has not yet released the Android 5.1 for our decide, for now only the 5.0.2. What you can do is download the ROM (Stock ROM 5.0.2 Lollipop by Sammy) and flash it with a program called Odin. It's very simple to do, but one should be careful not to do anything other than prescribed. Simple: Download the ROM to your device, SM-T805, and download and install on your PC Odin, open it and then click in PDA and select the downloaded ROM. You can find the firmware on sammobile.com siteFinally, in its S Tab, select your language and enjoy. :fingers-crossed:

Everything you need to know is posted in the thread below.
One one of the rules of XDA is to search before asking repeated questions. XDA is not a spoon feeding forum.
I suggest you read the WHOLE thread before posting any questions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/samsung-lollipop-range-tab-s-t3021612

Thanks for the link.
I'll update this night and then I response to this threat if all worked fine .
In addition, I searched for a link like yours in the developers section but I founded only a threat for SM-T800 and other Devices bot not my Device.
It's also better to pin the thread in the comlpeat section so that it's shown on each subboard in this category e. g. as an anouncement.
Edit 1: First try to get 5.0.2 failed! I'll now use recovery mode and try it again.
Q: Is CyanogenMod better as Android 5? What are the differences between them?

It seems that the ROM for my file is definitly defect!

Galaxy Note 8 GT-N5110- Stuck In Bootloop After Factory Reset

Boot loop after factory reset on GT-N5110
I tried to reset the device using Settings>Back up and reset>Factory data reset>Delete all.
Rebooted into a black screen with an Android with a hatch open and a blue spinning thing. It's been stuck in a endless loop of the startup screen with the name and model, which then goes to the Android with open hatch.
I pried the rear cover off and discovered that I don't have any screwdrivers small enough to remove the battery. So I'm wondering if there is any software based fix that I can try.
Holding down Power+Volume Down interrupts the loop and brings up this screen - blogyourearth.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Samsung-Galaxy-S2-Warning-Custom-rom-installation.jpg
I've had the tablet for 2 years, so the warranty is long gone. I'd be open to flashing a Custom Rom/Kernel, as long as I'm able to go back to the default TouchWiz 4.1.2.

Have no idea on how to do any of the above, but I'm googling now. Are there any guides/articles on how to do this, that You could point me in the direction of? Since I'm soft-bricked, is there any point in trying to back-up my presumably borked ROM? I've already downloaded my country specific, stock 4.1.2. ROM.
Many thanks for taking the time to help me and I apologize for the noob questions. I know my way around Windows, but when it comes to Android - I'm hopeless

I flashed TWRP successfully, I think...
Stumbled across the ODIN troubleshooting thread and one of the steps was to try different cables. The 10 foot cable I've been using for the past 8 months would only end up with a failure, stock cable... didn't even register. 8 inch cable I bought for my external battery had a successful flash in 10 seconds!

I flashed TWRP successfully, I think...
Stumbled across the ODIN troubleshooting thread and one of the steps was to try different cables. The 10 foot cable I've been using for the past 8 months would only end up with a failure, stock cable... didn't even register. 8 inch cable I bought for my external battery had a successful flash in 10 seconds!

OK so now you have a working TWRP recoveryand you also know what was causing ODIN to fail.
Next step would be to install a custom ROM, check the development section.
if you prefer stock then you ODIN your stock tar file which you downloaded.

Using TWRP, I backed up; EFS, Boot, Cache, System and Data. After the backup completed I followed the prompt to reboot and it booted into Android *happy dance*.
looks like all the user preferences are gone. No more password or background pictures and all apps have been removed from their folders. Basically looks like all the apps that I installed are there and any data associated. But all my preferences and set options are gone.
Going through the apps, I remembered that I had rooted using Framaroot. Do you think that may have been the cause for the soft-brick? Should I un-root and then try the factory reset again or just flash the stock ROM that I downloaded?
EDIT: didn't see your reply when I started typing this out. Since TWRP is flashed. Does that mean it has replaced whatever recovery Samsung had in place? If so; does having it installed/flashed increase the chance of a fairly stress free recovery in case of future problems?

So, it turns out pvsgh is pretty awesome!
It worked! Thank you so much. You rock!
Had to use another cable though. I think I need a new USB/Charge port
After flashing the stock ROM I had quite a bit of left over data like app folders and pictures/screenshots. Went into the stock recovery and did a factory reset from there, which wiped the internal storage back to factory state.
Should I flash TWRP again and use it to backup everything, now that everything seems to be working normal. Or just leave it as is?

You can take a backup that you can use to restore your tablet if you ever get issues again.
Or just follow the same procedure again.
Taking backup is completely a user choice whether he want it or not.

[2015] ODIN failed flashes reflashing STOCK 4.4.2 - Please HELP :'(

Hi there!
I recently bought a N3N (N7505) :good: for mobile drawing. Since I bought it used, I found KNOX at 0x1 and the 4.4.2 it came with was already annoyingly buggy (lags everywhere, packed RAM & phone app FCs). I did manage to root it through CF-Autoroot (I think?) and even put a custom recovery (TWRP touch v2.8.7.0)
The problem is, everytime I download a ROM from Sammobile (md5 checks confirm undamaged downloads), it fails to flash via ODIN (flashes ALL THE WAY till the end and says FAILED - phone reboots perfectly to previous OS like nothing happened) and I'm wondering if I downloaded the wrong ODIN files, or is there something I'm missing?
So, i'm currently on N7505XXUCNL1 and wondering how I can reflash it (or a similar one) to refresh the phone anew :angel:
ROMz, Y U NO FLASH???
Any advice on what ROM would best suit me to refresh my N3N with???
:victory::victory::victory:Thanks in advance!!:victory::victory::victory:
UPDATE:
When i'm in Download mode, this is the information displayed
ODIN MODE

Greetings damadikaz,
I have posted my ODIN logs as an UPDATE on the main post for two separate flashes that both failed.
Any help is greatly appreciated:highfive::highfive::highfive:

Try flashing the latest stock ROM from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N7505/
Looks to me like the flash is failing because the bootloader currently on the phone is newer than the bootloader in the ROM you are flashing.

Samsung Galaxy A3 Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock

Hello,
when I start my device then the error "Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock" comes.
I knew the error (OEM-unlock) not activated after root.
So, now I want to flash the new firmware with odin.
My handy model: SM-A310F
I downloaded the right firmware (I think) on sammobile (version: A310FXXU3CQL2) but when i want to flash it with Odin, it stops by hidden.img (~90%) with an error. (checkout log)
